1880: Hertz – Initial demonstration of practical radio communication
1897: Marconi – Radio transmission to a tugboat over an 18 mi path
1921: Detroit Police Department: -- Police car radio dispatch (2 MHz
frequency band)
1933: FCC (Federal Communications Commission) – Authorized four
channels in the 30 to 40 MHz range
1938: FCC – Ruled for regular service
1946: Bell Telephone Laboratories – 152 MHz (Simplex)
1956: FCC – 450 MHz (Simplex)
1959: Bell Telephone Laboratories – Suggested 32 MHz band for high
capacity mobile radio communication
1964: FCC – 152 MHz (Full Duplex)
1964: Bell Telephone Laboratories – Active research at 800 MHz
1969: FCC – 450 MHz (Full Duplex)
1974: FCC – 40 MHz bandwidth allocation in the 800 to 900 MHz range
1981: FCC – Release of cellular land mobile phone service in the 40 MHz
bandwidth in the 800 to 900 MHz range for commercial operation

1981: AT&T and RCC (Radio Common Carrier) reach an agreement to
split 40 MHz spectrum into two 20 MHz bands. Band A belongs to
nonwireline operators (RCC), and Band B belongs to wireline
operators (telephone companies). Each market has two operators.
1982: AT&T is divested, and seven RBOCs (Regional Bell Operating
Companies) are formed to manage the cellular operations
1982: MFJ (Modified Final Judgment) is issued by the government DOJ.
All the operators were prohibited to (1) operate long-distance
business, (2) provide information services, and (3) do
manufacturing business
1983: Ameritech system in operation in Chicago
1984: Most RBOC markets in operation
1986: FCC allocates 5 MHz in extended band
1987: FCC makes lottery on the small MSA and all RSA licenses
1988: TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) voted as a digital cellular
standard in North America
1992: GSM (Groupe Speciale Mobile) operable in Germany D2 system

1993: CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) voted as another digital
cellular standard in North America
1994: American TDMA operable in Seattle, Washington
1994: PDC (Personal Digital Cellular) operable in Tokyo, Japan
1994: Two of six broadband PCS (Personal Communication Service) license
bands in auction
1995: CDMA operable in Hong Kong
1996: US Congress passes Telecommunication Reform Act Bill
1996: The auction money for six broadband PCS licensed bands (120 MHz)
almost reaches 20 billion US dollars
1997: Broadband CDMA considered as one of the third generation mobile
communication technologies for UMTS (Universal Mobile
Telecommunication Systems) during the UMTS workshop conference
held in Korea
1999: ITU (International Telecommunication Union) decides the next
generation mobile communication systems
(e.g., W-CDMA, cdma2000, etc)
